Drill

Instructions

1. 1Set up an inch from a wall with the bar or dumbbells in hand.
2. 2Hinge back until you feel a hamstring stretch, then drive hips forward.
3. 3Stop the hips the instant they lightly tap the wall — no further lean back.
4. 4Squeeze the glutes to finish tall instead of arching the lower back.

What to focus on

Finishing the lockout with glutes, not lumbar extension.

Common mistake

Leaning back past vertical and arching the low back at the top.
